Hard to believe this was today a year ago! Music in the Town Concert Series with Holly Geraghty. A week later all was closed down. What a year it has been! Can’t wait to get the series back up and running in due course!

Seeing-out-2020, part two
LIVE STREAM THIS SUNDAY!
Sunday, 20 Dec 2020
Fiddle player Anna Falkenau is performing Seeing-Out-2020, part two in a series of live-streamed concerts from her home in Co. Galway/Ireland. She explains: “So as to, hopefully, see this extraordinary year out on a good note, reflective of all the loss and hardship endured by people around the globe and also with a hopeful note.”
Anna will perform material from Féileacán na Saoirse and I Can Here You Calling, her two most recent albums, alongside new compositions. These are “beautifully quirky, full of unexpected twists and turns, and … a masterclass in imaginative playing and tune-christening alike,” writes Siobhán Long in the Irish Times.
